Lab-grown fish chunks could feed space travelers

Cooking up ways to feed explorers on long trips in space, scientists have coaxed chunks of fish meat to grow in the laboratory. The technique could lead to the production of copious amounts of protein for consumption without the messy and involved business of killing fish or livestock. “This could save you having to slaughter animals for food,” said Morris Benjaminson, a bioengineer and the leader of the NASA-funded project.
